207. Borrowing chickens to lay eggs again (Part 2)

After seeing the contents of the second memory, Gaddula also became quiet. She kept staring at the memory, her little eyes looking straight at it, not letting go of any data.

Even Broderick-Shale and Magtan-Scar were stunned by this thing.

This thing is very huge. Even if it is taken out and placed in the space environment, it will be a behemoth, but such a creation is actually a vehicle!

It is 568 meters long, 237 meters wide and 44 meters high. Above the vehicle are three spacious flight runways and an integrated ship island. Eight sets of huge ladder tracks support this terrifying land giant - yes, this is a Land Carrier!!

Moreover, this aircraft carrier is also equipped with a series of weapons such as electromagnetic guns, vertical missile launch systems, and Point Defense System. Not only that, it can also be expanded to up to three production lines. As long as there are enough materials, various vehicles and even fighter jets and bombers can be produced!

Just such an aircraft carrier that integrates strike, logistics, production, maneuverability, and command can fully support a high-intensity war!

"A Land Carrier!!" Gaddula screamed.

Magtan-Scar laughed, patted Yuri on the shoulder and said loudly, "Hahahaha! Santa Claus, so this is the Christmas gift you gave me? I was almost deceived by that engineering vehicle! Hahahahaha!! Then where is this aircraft carrier?"

"It's in the drawings." Tang Xiao said calmly.

"What are you talking about? This thing hasn't been built yet?!" Gaddula was immediately furious, "Then why did you show this to me?!"

"This is your business." Tang Xiao said, "I will give you the drawings and send engineers to help. But how to build this Land Carrier is something you need to consider. Oh, by the way, I can generously name this aircraft carrier... Gaddula."

Gaddula waved his short hands and yelled angrily, "Do you think you can get me, the great Hutt Gaddula, to join forces with you with such a drawing!? Get out of here!!"

"Are you sure?" Tang Xiao looked at Gaddula mockingly, and then said to Shale, "Shale, you can work hard and send a spaceship to take our great Lord Gaddula back to Mos Espa Port."

"Okay." Shale nodded, with a sinister smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"You! Don't come here!!" Gaddula moved back with some fear, then pointed at Tang Xiao and said, "Where do you want me to find something that can build this Land carrier!!"

"You finally got to the point." Tang Xiao said, "Building this aircraft carrier is naturally not easy, and of course I won't give you a blueprint and walk away. But you have to understand that once you own this aircraft carrier, backed by the desert covering more than 99.9% of the area on Tatooine, you have unlimited possibilities! Including competing with Jabba!"

Gaddula also calmed down, she gritted her teeth and asked, "How to do it?"

"Land Carrier is certainly a giant, but you have to know that there are still huge things running around in the desert of Tatooine, right?" Tang Xiao asked in return.

"What?" Gaddula, who was so full of brains, couldn't possibly react.

"Jawas." Tang Xiao could only remind her, "Many Jawas tribes own a kind of large Sandcrawlers crawlers (Sandcrawlers). This was done many years ago Most of the large construction machinery left on Tatooine by some mining teams, including Corellian Mining Corporation, are now recycled by Jawas and transformed into their own mobile Homeworld."

Then Yuri clicked on the memory again, and Land Carrier's projection was immediately broken down into several modules. Tang Xiao pointed to the suspension and load-bearing modules and said, "My engineering team has made a preliminary estimate. If you can find 8 Sandcrawlerss, then you don't have to worry about the chassis of this Land Carrier."

Gaddula made a gurgling sound and said angrily, "Don't think I don't understand anything!! It's good if Jawas's Sandcrawlers doesn't fall apart! Use it as the chassis of Land carrier, but you still think it doesn't fall apart fast enough?!"

"For us, this Land Carrier is just a large mobile apron. It does not require a ski jump to take off, so the requirements for bearing capacity will be much smaller. And we can also add anti-gravity components to reduce the pressure on the track. So big, these are all problems that can be solved in design," Tang Xiao said, "I know you still have your own power in Nal Hutta, so it shouldn't be a problem to find some engineers, right?"

"What about you?" Gaddula asked coldly.

"I will have a technical team to analyze and modify this Land Carrier to make the technology inside more suitable for our construction. And I will also help you manufacture some precision components. In short, this Land Carrier requires the cooperation of three of us, you, me, and Jawas." Tang Xiao said.

"Why do you think Jawas can help us?"

"If they are not willing, then just let them be willing, okay?" Tang Xiao's smile was a little ferocious, "What are the LAVs I gave you for? If they are not enough, I still have them here."

Broderick-Shale said, "What is the condition of the engineering vehicle you sent? Are you planning to mine in Tatooine? You must know that although Tatooine has a large amount of iron ore, the quality is very low. This is why those mining companies gave up on Tatooine in the past."

"Low quality is not a problem. Those mining companies consider profits, and Tatooine's inferior ore will naturally not create benefits for them. But what we want is not the profits of this ore, but Tatooine! So! So, this STS-32 Foreman-class Salvager can complete the task. They can directly decompose minerals and then refine them very conveniently. As long as there are enough minerals, high-quality raw materials can be extracted."

"I understand." Broderick-Shale stopped talking.

Tang Xiao looked at Gaddula and said, "Use your power and complete this aircraft carrier! I am not a philanthropist, I gave you this opportunity! You must know that if it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be able to build the wheels of this aircraft carrier!"

"I know..." Gaddula finally gave in, "I still have some spacecraft repair shops on Nal Hutta and some other planets, and I also have engineers at my disposal. I can solve some parts of the aircraft carrier."

Tang Xiao then said to Shale, "Then, the matter of 'persuading' Jawas will be left to you. If you need anything else, just ask."

Broderick-Shale showed a ferocious smile.
